[Verse 1]

Let's begin at the top:

There's no reason to think that this will ever stop

So let's go back and start again;

In this finite uncertainty we'll circle round and then

Sail a craft of self-conviction

Across tomorrow-never-knows

Where the surface stays unruffled

While the coral clusters quietly down below

[Bridge]

Cutting figures of pride and will like Leonardo cartoons

We go flying formation in our hot-air speech balloons

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Can't go back, can't reverse...

No-one here really quite believes

The bubble's going to

The bubble's going to

The bubble's going to burst

[Verse 2]

I fell off the raft of self-assurance

Into undertow that sucked me dry and deep;

Bent double by thought bubbles flooding through my blood

I surfaced from a lifetime's worth of sleep

Yeah, I remember once I gave myself the lecture

Swore on life as both a blessing and a curse

But all solid faith seems nothing but conjecture

Now the bubble's going to

Bubble's going to

Bubble's going to

Bubble's going to burst

[Bridge]

And our bones become the coral of the future

And we slake the life-long thirst;

With a pin-prick, on a reef like a razor

The bubble's going to burst

[Outro]

The bubble's sure to burst
